John is a go getter

John helped me succeed in my adoption. He went the extra mile to get the information needed to get it done. He found plenty of options to choose from in the requirements of the adoption process and had background information on the social workers to go through that helped make my choice. John is an u...nderstanding and calming person and willing to help the average American and I will definitely recommend him to anyone seeking an attorney.

Unknown lawyer | May 24

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"John listens to his clients and hears what their needs are. He often thinks outside the box in his representation, and puts forth all possible arguments in seeking the best outcome for the client. John practices in difficult areas of law affecting both personal freedom and parental rights, but he always treats clients with respect and understanding. While we practice in different communities, I do not hesitate to seek John's guidance in areas outside my own knowledge."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
